| Gramma Jewel loves the kids! :) |
I just got out of my Physical Science class, and I decided to take advantage of an opportunity and talk to y’all before my Grammar & Comp II class.
First of all, I’m done with my speech about my personal anthem. I’ll tell you this much: I really believe that I put a lot of heart and soul into this speech on account of I think I wept a little. Truth be told—Michael Bolton’s “Go The Distance” really suits me very well, and I want to show that in my speech class this afternoon.
Notwithstanding my Auntie Cherri’s celebrity status, there’s more good news back home in Cali: It has been brought to my attention that my Gramma Jewel is volunteering as a nurse at Sapp Elementary... yes, the same Sapp Elementary where my Grampa Clark devoted 16 years as a kindergarten teacher before passing the torch to our family friend Mr. D! Anyway, Gramma Jewel told me over the weekend that she has an opportunity to become a full-time nurse, providing she does well in her one-month volunteering work. She told me that her first day on the job was interesting, in that she hadn’t been on the job for fifteen minutes, and she tended to a little girl that skinned her knee. The way Gramma Jewel told the story of how she explained to the little girl about the “stinging stuff” would hurt and help… it reminded me of when I skinned my knee as a little girl. As a matter of fact, I still kinda have a little scar on my knee after all these years.
I truly believe that Gramma Jewel has been revitalized by her volunteering job. Think about it: She was a nurse for about 17 years at the Culver City Children’s Hospital, until she retired in 1994. However, she was quick to point out to me that—and these are her exact words—“nursin’ is still in my blood, Baby!” So, I truly believe that Gramma Jewel will be up at Sapp Elementary as a full-time employee real soon. Besides, she’s been talking about how The Lord has blessed her golden years and the vigor of a teenage girl, so this change will do her some good. And then too, what are the odds that she's working side by side (in a manner of speaking) with Mr. D?
Gramma Jewel, you tell me this all the time, so it’s my turn to tell you: What God has for you, is for you. Just keep on trustin’ and believin’, Baby—your blessing is definitely on its way!
Well, let me go ahead and get to my Grammar & Comp II class. Until tomorrow, y’all…
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
